A "Realtor.com" listing is a listing which goes into Realtor.com but not in your local MLS. An MLS listing goes into your local MLS, plus Realtor.com. The main difference in a Realtor.com listing and a MLS listing is the amount of additional local exposure with an MLS listing. We offer both types of listings, but to get the maximum exposure, we recommend a MLS listing. Call our customer service if you would like to discuss the benefits of one over the other (800-296-9637).
